XML frusturation. Please help...

[acidbox]

I've been at this for some time now, but either I am really missing the ball here, or XML is whack. Here is my issue:

1.) I have a dynamic XML feed that I am retreiving. By that I mean that the tags are not the same for each query. One result could have 10 tags, and yet another could have 12 or 15 totally diferent and unique tags.

2.) For each query, I transform the dynamic XML feed into a string. I call this string, $xml_feed.

Now, here is where I get stuck. I cannot, for the life of me, find a script that will take my string, determine the tags on the fly, and put the results into an array that I can then use in my website.

The closest I got was with this script: http://www.zend.com/codex.php?id=380&single=1

It actually took the string and found all the elements. But, it never could actually pull the data from the elements, it returned some odd errors.

My question is this: Does anyone know of an XML script that can do what I am trying to accomplish? If you know of one, you will be my hero!

Thanks again, and sorry for the grief.

Well, I wrote a script like that. However, since it seems to be quite unique, I ZendEncoded the thing. I've attached it. Just rename to .php, and if you have Zend Accelerator installed, it shoud work. All you have to do is include this script and call xml($data), where $data is your XML file. It will return an array which should be quite comprehensible. However, if your XML data is invalid in any way, the whole script might malfunction.
